With this being explained this is why raising the federal minimum wage makes sense. For instance in New York City it is becoming extremely expensive to even survive in a city like New York. More fare hikes are you kidding me? Subway fares will go up from $2.50 to $2.75 Single Ride Ticket from $2.75 to $3 Monthly Metrocards will go from $111 to $116.50; Weeklys increased from $30 to $31. Bridges & Tunnels will now increase 4% for those with E-ZPass; 6% for those paying cash. (Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Queens Midtown Tunnel, and RFK Bridge) The Verrazano bridge will go from $15 to $16 for cash; $10.66 to $11.08 for E-ZPass. Express bus fare will go from $6 to $6.50. Metrocard ticket bonuses will also go up from 5% to 11% for those who buy the $5.50 package or more. Now you tell me if someone can survive making $8.25 an hour.
